    ZDNet[^]:

    Microsoft, Red Hat, Canonical, SuSE, Oracle, VMWare, Citrix, and many OEMs are expected to release BootHole patches.

    "And all that I knew: the hole in my shoe which was letting in water"

    And don't be like me and misread the name of this bug (although it applies to the authors of the exploit)

      Do you mean changing the "oo" for a "u"? Too late :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

      M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
